9103, Damn freakying belt
Posted by pancito, Nov-28-01 05:25 PM
Ok i need help guys, i don't know what to do, everytime i rev hard in first my freaking accesories belt (AC and Power Steering), goes off i have fix this two times already and i need to do it a third time tonight, and it's freezing cold out there, but i need the car and it's a PIA to drive like that. Any suggestions, the second time i put the belt on i put a little more tension to it, do you think it needs more??? im going to put it as far as i can go so it only goes down at touch a few cm. or mm. and by the way where is the freaking sensor to the radiatior light, everytime a start the car and it's cold it turns it on, when it gets hot or after a few mins. or somthing it goes away...

Thanks and sorry to vent but it's pissing me off.

hey mang,

u want no more than 1/2 inch deflection on your accessory belts. that means when u push on them, on the longest stretch of the belt, it should not move more than 1/2 inch.

make sure you tighten the lock bolts down really good. i didnt, and the alt belt squeeled like a 2yr old who was hungry.

for the coolant/radiator light, i would flush the system and add new coolant.
